- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a smaller place like Paddock Wood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Paddock Wood
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
Even in a smaller place like Paddock Wood, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Paddock Wood and across Kent.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we are called out for in Paddock Wood
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Rented homes near Paddock Wood station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.

Paddock Wood homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Paddock Wood Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
